Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking(背包旅行) seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home That's my experience, any-way. Very often, you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know. I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures. It's a great way to learn more about the world.
It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling, and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days, until one of you leaves for the next exciting place. Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home, because you do so much together in that short time. I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends. It is safe, I think, because we probably won't meet again, except online.
One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs, so your back-pack isn't too heavy. I travel “light” these days. One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on, instead of washing and waiting for things to dry. Many hostels(小旅社)don't provide shampoo and shower gel. You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.
I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to, and by using local shops and guest houses, they help those places with much-needed financial(经济上的) support. Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time, so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area. Back-packers are also kinder to the environment, because they use trains and buses rather than cars. So, what are you waiting for !(By Andy Robinson)
1. According to Andy, friendships made with other back-packers .
A. are less serious than those with his friends at home
B. end at the moment they separate from each other
C. help him to decide where he would like to travel to
D. allow him to talk about himself in an honest way
2. Which text message would Andy send to a friend
A. “Why don't you fly out to visit me We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast.”
B. “I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast.”
C. “I've met some great people. Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together.”
D. “I'm glad I filled up my backpack—I've got every-thing I need, though it isn't easy to carry it a-round!”
3. The best title for the passage can be .
A. Friendships on the Way
B. Traveling with a Backpack
C. A Backpacking Experience
D. Tips on Travel

哪种旅行适合你
On hearing the word vacation, most people feel ex-cited. 1. You can choose to travel with family, friends, or alone.
Family travel can have some challenges. For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another. If two brothers do not get along at home, the chances are that they will fight during a vacation. 2. For example, parents want to visit a museum while the kids scream for a trip to parks. Although there are challenges, this kind of vacation always creates special memories.
3. Close friends often have similar personalities, so they get along with each other and fight less. However, if friends do not know each other well or have not traveled together before, vacationing together may do more harm than good.
Finally, people can choose to travel alone. 4. For example, they can be more flexible(灵活的).with transportation than those traveling in a large group. They can change plans more easily and have better chances of getting a seat on buses or planes. In addition, they are more likely to meet locals because they are more likely to want to talk with others. By this way, they say they learn a lot about themselves while traveling alone.
5. Whatever the personal preference, there is a travel choice for everyone.
A. Different forms of travel are open to everyone.
B. Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience.
C. Besides, finding common places of interest is not easy for family groups.
D. It can be a weekend trip, a last-minute getaway or a trip around the world.
E. Moreover, it is not difficult for family members to go to the same places.
F. Travelling without friends can also be an unforgettable experience for several reasons.
G. It is necessary to worry about how far the scenery is.
